Carrboro’s Erica Eisdorfer has long been known in book circles around here and not just because she’s managed the Bullshead Book Shop on campus for so many years.Her name got a little wider circulation this week after Amazon.com named her new work, The Wet Nurse’s Tale, one of the top ten finalists in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Contest.She sends along this reaction: “I guess I could say that this is the thrill of a lifetime for me. I’ve been writing novels and sticking them under my bed for many years and this sort of recognition is just about as validating as possible. The contest began in November and there were 5,000 entries, so it’s great to have lasted.â€Interested parties are invited to log on to the Amazon site, read an excerpt from the novel and consider a vote for Carrboro’s next literary champion.
